that's why they had that sort of problem with the obama care rollout. he hasn't really had that sort of thing since rahm emanuel left. before it becomes a big problem out there in public. i would regard this as a very good thick as the president reaching out beyond his -- the people he's comfortable with in his inner circle. >> there's been a bit of a debate percolating around nbc, lifting the minimum wage. they are saying this could be a real winning issue for democrats to run on and inequality in general in 2014. >> i think it probably is a good issue politically. and you also pair that with the unemployment insurance which is probably another politically winning issue for the democrats. certainly has a lot of populist possibilities there. in terms of actual policy and getting things done, i don't think that's any sort of near term thing we've got to first do this next punt on the budget and see if we can avoid a shutdown but not actually achieve anything in terms of overall, longer terms problems with the budget. >> dana milbank, you are a reporter l
